	Story Behind the Song I direct a week of church camp at Camp Moneto for 5th and 6th graders. They taught me a song called Blind Man. About the man crying on the road for Jesus. I decided to make a holy hip hop version. Lyrics Blind Man Blind Man stood by the road and he cried Blind Man stood by the road and he cried Blind Man stood by the road and he cried He cried Oooo I’ve been blind since birth, some people say I’ve been cursed It’s hard not being able to see, but to be honest I’ve seen worst I’ve seen cruelty, and I’ve seen brutality You want to know how can a blind me see, well I saw it happen to me Everyone’s in a rush to go here or there, They’ve got 20/20 vision yet their spiritually impaired So here I am on the road, forced to be a beggared They throw me some alms, but what I need is a Shepard I want more than this in my life I want someone to show me the way, the truth and the light I’m a lost sheep I'm hurt and alone But What I really want is someone to show me the way home Oooo Show me the Way Oooo Show me the truth Oooo Show me the light Oooo The way to go home Lame Man stood by the road and he cried Lame Man stood by the road and he cried Lame Man stood by the road and he cried He cried Oooo I’m just a no name, no game, lame I’m so crippled I can’t even walk with a cane And every day is just the same old same People walk by, shake their heads and say “O what a shame” They see me lying by the road on my cot And they throw me a mite, but then again they might not So here I am a beggar, life’s given me this lot Hey, I know it’s not a lot, but heck! Its all I got Now I’ve heard that there's this fountain that can produce a miracle But I can’t find anyone to help me to be first in the pool I looking for a way, some truth, a little light But most of all I’m looking to find a way home tonight. Oooo show me the way Oooo show me the truth Oooo show me the light Oooo the way to go home Jesus hung on the cross and he cried Jesus hung on the cross and cried Jesus hung on the cross and cried He cried Oooo It’s in pain that I cry, I’m not gonna lie I prayed that this cup could some how passed me by But I had to go through it, I couldn’t be a coward Because I knew I’d been sent to earth for this very hour To be blinded with pain, and to be stretched till I was lame To be rejected by my own people and to feel the shame To stay up on the cross and pay the cost To destroy death, and bring new life to your hearts I’m the Son of God, but I am the good Shepard too I heard the cries of the blind man, the lame man, ….and you. Crying out for your sins and short falls You think no one is listening but I hear your calls Sometimes life is so tough you want to give it up you try to heal yourself with material things, but there’s never enough You feel like the least of these only a little less Your lost and confused, and you’ve got no guess Well I healed the blind man and watched him cry non-stop And I healed the lame man and told him to rise up and walk Those where important miracles, no doubt it’s true But I want you to know I saved the greatest miracle for you. For you I die on this cross, your sins to atone I die, but shall live again and I’ll take you home So open your eyes and your Saviour see Rise up and walk, my child, follow me. Oooo I am the way Oooo I am the truth Oooo I am the light Oooo the way to go home In my Father’s House are many mansions. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go to prepare a place for you I will come again. That where I am you may be also. By Joseph Johnson 3-25-02
